That is a great time! My best is 7 something, and I used inspires to get that.
Why Blasters? Empathy Sucks.
So, you want to be Mental?
What the hell? Let's buff defenders.
Tactics are for those who do not have a big enough hammer. Wisdom is knowing how big your hammer is.
thanks.
someone must be beating the scrapper record at 4mins 18 seconds though
Haven't seen any blaster times better than 4:19. Have seen a few Fire/Rad's (controller) beat that. Still wanna see a Fire/Kin or /Storm post some times. Or a Fire/MM (since DP has -regen) or Fire/Elec (for sheer DPS) blaster.

I'm sure I could not .. but then, I don't even know where to find one. *g*
What are the rules for that ?
inspirations and buffs legal ? Temps ?
I wouldnt think damage insps would be kosher but what about survival insps ?
Temps wouldnt seem legit but base buffs should be.
Scrappers don't use temporary powers, inspirations, or any outside buffs. Using Inspirations can allow you solo anything in this game reasonably fast.

Nor do most of the controllers. Blasters will likely need to use insps, though there are those who can do w/o, but just popping an Aid Self for the odd hit (assuming you're def capped) will seriously slow down your kill rate.

It took me exactly 15 minutes without using Inspirations or Temp Powers of any form. That was on the Fire/Eng I made up for AV soloing who uses a completely ranged attack chain (see my article next week in the City Scoop). I was mainly doing it to figure out my effective DPS when fighting other AVs, since the Scrappers have a handy formula for that based on the time. It was surprisingly low, due in part to using Aid Self from time to time. I could go faster if I used melee attacks, Inspirations, or temp powers.
Goodbye and thanks for all the fish.

I'd say a fair test for Blasters would be to allow temps and inspirations that don't affect damage. A good Scrapper build can ignore Pylon damage indefinitely, but most Blasters will either faceplant or have to frequently use Aid Self. A mix of set bonuses and Lucks plus the occasional green pill should let a Blaster simulate a Scrapper's superior mitigation, allowing a straight up damage comparison.

Ya I dunno, part of the accomplishment of building a high dps toon is being able to use it. High dps toons from other AT's reach that level while retaining high survivability and high sustainability.
If you start moving the goalposts for blasters in the way of survivability then you may as well move them for other AT's in terms of damage and allow them to use reds.
I'm sure a super specced range def fire/ment could beat the current scrapper time. Just drag over a couple rikti monkeys to fuel DP so the "survivability and sustainability" aspect is taken care of.
Ya some people would agrue that DP's -regen isn't real dps. All you say to that - what high hp targets that would actually utilize such sustained dps don't also have significant regen?
If that doesn't work - winning is winning.
